Hakeem Olajuwon to be honored at inaugural Houston Sports Awards

In February, the Harris County Houston Sports Authority will host their inaugural Houston Sports Awards event, which will feature three honorees, all of whom wore the No. 34 during their careers: Hakeem Olajuwon, Nolan Ryan and Earl Campbell.

“There have been many greats that have played in Houston, but arguably three of the best all happened to wear the number 34”, said Janis Burke, the sport’s authority’s CEO. “We are proud and couldn’t be more excited to celebrate and honor these three Houston legends at our first ever Houston Sports Awards.”

In addition to honoring these three legends, there will be 10 awards given out at the event honoring high-school, college and pro athletes.
